Many believe that the public attitude toward psychotropic drugs is easy to change because it depends upon transient socioeconomic and cultural contingencies. This belief is here tested by analyzing literary sources on the use of wine and poppy derivatives in the Greek and Roman civilizations. As expected, the existence of elaborated myths about the discover of wine supports the view that wine drinking played an important social role in the ancient world. Contingencies in which drinking was considered illicit were carefully selected with the ultimate aim of maintaining sobriety. Rules of drinking were often enforced by law. This first part of the study lists drunkenness outcomes considered particularly harmful by the Ancients.
许多人认为公众对精神药物的态度很容易改变，因为它取决于短暂的社会经济和文化偶然因素。本文通过分析希腊和罗马文明中关于葡萄酒和罂粟衍生物使用的文献资料来验证这一观点。不出所料，关于葡萄酒发现的详尽神话的存在支持了这样一种观点，即饮酒在古代世界发挥了重要的社会作用。为了保持清醒，人们精心挑选了饮酒被视为非法的偶然情况。饮酒规则常常由法律强制执行。该研究的第一部分列出了古人认为特别有害的醉酒后果。
